In Unit VI, based on your budget and schedule, you need to develop a Project Communication Plan using  PowerPoint presentation that you will present to your sponsor and other stakeholders. You created a Project Budget in Unit IV for building a five-bedroom home in Ashburn, VA. In Unit V, you created a Project Schedule for that same project.

 

  Be sure to use the following guidelines: 

Scope: Explain the scope of your house-building project (one to two slides). 

Schedule: Explain the schedule status including milestone status (two slides). 

Budget: Explain the budget status including milestone status (two slides). 

Assumptions/constraints: Explain some of the assumptions and constraints of the project (one to two slides). 

Risks: Explain some of the risks that you have identified with the project (one to two slides). 

Status: Explain the overall status of the house-building project (one to two slides). 

 

Refer back to your Unit IV Project Budget and Unit V Project Schedule assignments for data and amplifying information for this presentation. Also, refer to Chapter 17 “Managing Project Communications” on pages 237-256 of your Project Management Absolute Beginner’s Guide textbook as your guide for creating your presentation. 

 

Your PowerPoint presentation should be 8-12 slides (not including your title and reference slides). 

Be sure to follow APA formatting for citations and references.

 

Assignment 1 BSL 4080 Creative Thinking and Problem Solving (14 Slides)

One important point, after you choose the background and template, do not change the margins! In other words, no words or charts should appear in the margins. **Also, more than phrases are required on the slide**. Just a title and a couple of phrases is inadequate! 

The presentation should have 14 slides,  not more, not less.  This is the list in the assignment, in the order required. Do not change the margins. All slides must have 1 inch margins just like APA papers. 

NOTE: Font Cannot be smaller than 14 or larger than 20, except for the title on the slide. 

 You are a major stockholder in a multi-national corporation that is considering opening a facility in an underdeveloped country known for questionable human rights policies. The arguments in favor of the move include that it would provide employment for people who currently have none; it would decrease production costs, thereby increasing profits and return on your investment; and it would decrease the cost of the product for the consumers, potentially further expanding revenues and increasing returns. The arguments against opening the facility include the fact that companies operating in the region have been found treating employees badly by implementing policies such as extremely low wages relative to other countries, demanding long hours without providing overtime, and occasionally employing children.You are planning to attend a shareholder’s meeting at which this topic will be discussed. You have been asked to provide your opinion on whether the facility should be opened. Determine whether you agree or disagree with the proposal to open a facility in the region.For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation to convince the organizational leaders whether the described facility should be opened or not. The PowerPoint should be at least 10 slides, not including the title and reference slides, and does not require any outside research, although additional research can be used. The textbook contains information that can be useful for this assignment, so it is recommended that it be used. Make sure to properly cite the textbook or any other source used.For this assignment, make sure to discuss the following.

1. Describe the issues to be addressed (two slides).
2. Provide reasons for why you agree or disagree with opening the facility (two slides).
3. Identify the role emotion plays in your recommendation (two slides). [Learning Outcome 2.1]
4. Explain how any emotion did, or did not, impact reason (two slides). [Learning Outcome 2.2]
5. Explain the reasoning process utilized to come to the conclusions reported in the presentation (two slides). [Learning Outcome 2.1 and 2.2]

Assignment 2 BSL 4040 ( 8 Slides) Communication Skills for Leaders

 Create a PowerPoint presentation outlining guidelines for college students on how to have a successful interview. The presentation must be at least eight slides in length and use at least two references. You may include your textbook as one of the references. Be sure to cite your sources in a reference slide and use proper APA style. All sources and their use must have accompanying APA citations. Be sure to include the content listed below in your presentation.

1. Describe the steps of an interview.
2. Differentiate the three types of interviews: information-gathering, job, and appraisal.
3. Discuss the interviewer and the interviewee’s roles during the opening, body, and closing portion of an interview.

 

Have you ever traveled a familiar route while so lost in thought that you barely experienced the details of the trip itself? Compare this to an experience in which you had to pay attention to a specific set of directions to get to a location you had never visited. How did the characteristics of each situation affect your experience? As these examples show, attention exerts important influence over perception.

Cultural and societal influences also affect attention. Consider DeGloma and Friedman’s (2005) example of “thieves and FBI agents [evading detection by posing] as garbage collectors” (p. 17). This strategy may work to conceal identity by leveraging societal views of blue-collar workers as people less worthy of attention. Because of the “invisibility” of such workers in the eyes of many, some may not register the existence of a unique personality within a uniform. 

In this Discussion, think about theories of attention as well as cultural and social variables. Consider the relationship between all of these factors and cognition.

Reference:
DeGloma, T., & Friedman, A. (2005). Thinking with socio-mental filters: Exploring the social structuring of attention and significance. Conference Papers––American Sociological Association, 1–24.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief comparison of one early theory of attention to the Guided Search theory of attention. Then describe how these theories apply to visual search. Finally, describe one cultural and one social variable that might influence attention and explain how.

Design and conduct a health needs assessment of a community or group with a specific illness or issue. A 4,000-word Essay -Weighting: 100% 

Got to be Public Health illness/issue. Community can be anything small or large – for instance, a community of people with type 2 diabetes or a community of people suffering from food insecurity. You need to focus on the definition of a health needs assessment and ensure you address all of the elements in it 

Choose anywhere you want, any Country. 

Introduce the importance of a health needs assessment and describe the process to set up what you are intending to do. However, it is crucial to critique what you will be doing to address the deeply entrenched health inequalities that impinges on peoples access to health and wellbeing resources. Louisa will be assisting you with critical writing after this assessment guidance. 

Remember there is nothing more powerful than the voice of the marginalised. Therefore, how do you intend to engage with and meet the needs of members of the community to reduce these health inequalities – who are your stakeholders – co-production with a full understanding of the needs/voices of the marginalised. This requires critique. 

Always check that you have fully met the LOS before submission. It’s a good idea to have these in front of you when writing the essay/presentation and tick off the LO’s that you have met 

Good tip here is to possibly choose a topic throughout whole of the programme, so if type 2 diabetes or Food insecurity is your passion then build up your specialism for other modules including the dissertation — same topic different focus but a deep understanding of the complexities in and around your specialised topic area. 

Follow the following Assessment Guidelines (Weighting – 100%)

Example

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the profound insecurity as felt by marginalised populations such as Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups in Bradford.  A decade of austerity policies has resulted in reduced working hours; prevalence of zero-hour contracts; increased unemployment; and the inefficient implementation of the UK welfare system have led  to an increase in food insecurity in the UK (House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee HCWEC 2020; Marmot et al. 2020; National Institute for Health Research NIHR 2020; Human Rights Watch 2019). 

The pandemic has disproportionately impacted segments of populations, with BAME groups identified as being at significant risk to the effects of the virus due to overcrowded households, health inequalities and deprivation (HCWEC 2020; Whitehead 2020). Additionally, the pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing food-related inequalities (differences in the ability to access food across social groups) experienced by BAME groups (HCWEC 2020; Sustain 2020). 

Whilst most of us Whilst most of us take food for granted, we are witnessing stark differences in the way that some people experience the food system in the UK. Despite being the fifth richest country in the world, an estimated 8.4 million people are cited as encountering instability in terms of their access to food and a healthy diet (Coufopoulos and Mooney 2012; HCWEC 2020; NIHR 2020). Current evidence suggests that due to the deeply entrenched health inequalities BAME people’s risk to food insecurity is 1.5 times higher than their White British counterparts (Power et al. 2017; Weekes-Bernard 2017; Loopstra et al. 2019; Loopstra 2020; The Food Foundation 2020; Westwater 2020).

In a systematic way working with our stakeholders, we need to assess the food related health problems facing the BAME a population due to their experiences of food insecurity. As demonstrated above, the COVID pandemic has exposed how, why and to what extent certain groups such as BAME appear more prone to illness than others and pinpointing any inequalities in terms of service provision. 

We have now identified that the BAME or sub-sections of the BAME community in Bradford requires a health need assessment. Can now do a HNA focusing on its definition and ensure that we address all of its elements to agree on a list of priorities to improve healthcare for the BAME community in terms of food insecurity in a particular area – Bradford. 

Another example could be the prevalence of type 2 Diabetes in the UK-based South Asian men living in Bradford. Here, you could highlight the gaps in our understanding of Type 2 diabetes in the UK-based South Asian population as well as to identify the health needs of this community. Here, Population migration from the Indian subcontinent countries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (South Asia) to many parts of the world has resulted in over two million South Asian people living in the UK today, which represents 4 per cent of the total UK population ( Daiabetes UK 2017). Alarmingly, South Asian people who live in the UK are up to six times more likely to have Type 2 diabetes than the white population, and with Type 2 diabetes prevalence in England predicted to increase by 47 per cent by 2025, the condition will continue to have a considerable impact on South Asian communities across the UK. 

With South Asian people living in Bradford at such an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and more likely to experience some of the serious complications associated with diabetes, this Health Needs Assessment  is both timely and essential. It is hoped that this NNA will encourage collaborative relationships and dynamic partnerships to flourish between researchers and organisations alike, to work towards achieving leaps forward in our understanding of Type 2  diabetes and all its complexities in  the South Asian male population living in the Bradford.
